Silko Thomas scored no goals and got 2 assists in 20 apps for Wigan last season, he is not the answer

Am thinking maybe the fly will come back in a coaching role?..

It's bad enough he can't be arsed as the owner but as the acting CEO it's hyper negligent. He's a c unt

We never learn when we have a player with a year left. We don't sell them, don't renew them so we have a disruptive and complacent player who can't wait to leave. We've been relegated once in part because Rudkin can't manage contract expiration, it might happen again. We have two long term options and they're shit James - loan 2026 (might not even want to sign here) Winks - 2026 Soumare - 2026 Choudhury - 2027 Skipp - 2029

Not with Top and Rudkin at the helm.

I don't think we can play 4231. Even James alongside a good DM is just too porous I think. Choudhury at DM with Winks and James ahead seems our most balanced midfield without Ramsey.

I don't rate him particularly but we need an actual DM in midfield in Choudhury. Winks and James don't screen the defence well enough at all - look at their defensive stats, pitiful

You could have a bit of sympathy with Cifuentes if he tried to do anything slightly differently. Instead it's a stilted 4231 every week. Slow, ponderous build up that is easy to defend against every week. 90% similar line ups with proven failures every week. There's no hint of trial end error with playing say Fatawu on the left to mix things up, 3 at the back, a proper DM in midfield or 2 up front. We'll play the same style, a similar line up and expect a different result against Middlesborough. You could just about excuse these defeats if we were building towards something with a youthful team but instead we have the 13th lowest average age! The problems are way above the manager but he is the latest in a long line of issues. Nelson, Aluko, Page are no worse than these twats and if they're played will be better (probably already are) in a years time.

One of the few higher end places in Leics that can justifiably charge what they do. Much better than Mallories imo

On paper we’d have said there is no way we drop in 22/23. It was a matter of time - shit player recruitment and shit managerial recruitment will always catch up

Better to write off the debt (of his own creation) as it’ll never be paid back. The commercial side is a shambles and Seagrave would have been set in motion by Vichai.

Allowing him to stay is worse. Look at the trajectory! Look at the amount of interest in Wednesday.

We were terrible in 21/22, should have finished just above the relegation zone - a quirk of the fixture list playing doomed and on the beach teams meant we were in a false position. 22/23 we’d have stayed up but not by much, season after we’d have gone anyway.

We’re lucky our opposition are so servile. These are mostly slow on the uptake invertebrates. They might clap or jeer and carry on attending but wanking for Top on Facebook isn’t doing a lot is it

Eventually we would have

I think I’ve moaned about this before but leadership is the most overrated ****ing thing in football. Vardy and Schmeichel witnessed a lot of this decline and did **** all because they’re players employed by the club.

No. They want their pound of flesh as we have made them look daft (mostly their own fault).

Did he negotiate the contracts?

Yep, the Ginetta’s have their Official Supporter’s Club (?) sinecure sewn up. 11 people at their AGM

It was our record net spend! Beggars belief we were in the FFP mire signed who we did

I would love to know our transfer process, well there probably isn’t. Just all ad hoc yes/no on Rudkin’s say so. I bet the scouts and analysts do find some gems but then the latest bozo in the dugout wants their own toys (Skipp, Ayew, Reid) rather than trusting the people with a clue. A director of football is literally there to stop this sort of thing happening but he seems to facilitate it instead.

Ward and Soumare have been the most harmful. Skipp the most idiotic.

@Dan and I have had our doubts about Top even in 2019/20. The Vichai worship never sat right anyway so I’ve always been more sceptical in the first place. Rodgers was a good appointment, we were largely getting our transfer business right but after Macia left - we appointed Congerton (Rodgers bumchum) who has played a key hand in Hamburg’s, Sunderland and Leicester’s downfall. That was all I needed to know.

I think he is probably sub-Bednar level. Nothing to his game at all

He’ll give a penalty away or get a red before he scores - sack of shit
